If you liked a certain article or felt that the GMN was published with something that we could do without, let us know. You can also put your comments and suggestions on how you think the next GMN should be.

I am very pleased to here that Diego Pettenò (flameeyes) will be working with the PR team etc. and specifically the fact that there will be a common Google calendar! (I just hope it will be make public).

Keep up the good work!

Just did a quick search at google calendar and found one named "Gentoo Linux Calendar". Seems to hold GMN release dates, bugdays, meetings, etc. I don't know if that's the official one but it comes very close to it. Thanks to Diego for putting the calendar up.

Of the 10273 currently open bugs: 16 are labeled blocker, 88 are labeled critical, and 353 are labeled major.

If we look at the other distribution, like red-hat or debian, there are not so many bugs like gentoo. Other people think if distribution haven't to much bugs they are STABLE! Otherwise take FreeBSD for bug testing?

I don't like BSD but it's not simple to talk whith people who give me work, and i doesn't know why they whant other distribs?!_________________

I completely disagree. I did a study where I compared Gentoo's, Redhat's, and Novell's bugzilla. Gentoo was by far the best at fixing bugs. Take a look at my results (gathered December 2007) and see for yourself:

The numbers are a bit confusing in my eyes. The number of open bugs is nearly constant for a long time, we are around 10.000 bugs, where over 2000 are requests for new packages. Also stabilisations, recruitment and other things are handled over bugzilla, so maybe a 1000 bugs more are not really bugs. I did some interpretation last year in http://www.faulhammer.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=194. Check out the GWN around that time, there was a news item about it with further information.

Can anybody please explain to me how writing of the press release can block the Beta upload for 2 weeks?
Or is this release schedule just there to look 'good'?

We are delayed because of the usual suspects: Security bugs that appear and create the need to update the snapshot, limited time by some people, coordination. It is on the way, I see constant commits to the usual repositories from releng (I am not part of that myself). I tried to prepare a news announcement but failed due to time constraints...I had more important things on my agenda.

Another notice why this is delayed: For personal reasons inside the Releng team the release is delayed. The topic is really personal but won't delay it ad inifinitum, so don't ask, though you can find the answer elsewhere.
